Environmental Achievements
- Cinovec project has the potential to have among the lowest overall environmental impacts of lithium chemical projects globally (based on a life cycle assessment).
- Plans to supply Cinovec with 100% renewable energy.
- Mining backfill will significantly reduce the size of the tailing storage facility (TSF) required.
Social Achievements
- Cinovec is projected to create c.1,000 direct jobs.
- Significant progress has been made in resolving NIMBY objections from local communities.
Governance Achievements
- Strategic partners include CEZ (51% interest) and the European Bank for Reconstruction & Development (EBRD).
Climate Goals & Targets
Long-term Goals:
- 25-year mine life (UPFS22).
Medium-term Goals:
- Securing construction funding.
- Receiving Just Transition Fund grant.
- Commencement of construction and lithium chemical production.
Short-term Goals:
- Completion of Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) in Q1 CY24.
Environmental Challenges
- Raising construction finance in turbulent capital markets.
- Permitting delays.
- Commodity price fluctuations (particularly lithium).
- Potential for objections from local communities or NGOs.
- Execution and operational risks associated with constructing and operating an underground mine and integrated lithium chemicals operation.
Mitigation Strategies
- Involvement of CEZ and EBRD as strategic partners.
- Cinovec's designation as a ‘Strategic Project’ and preapproval for a Just Transition Fund grant.
- Design choices to mitigate potential environmental and social impacts (e.g., underground crushing, use of backfill, aerial ropeway or suspended conveyor for ore transport).
- Addressing community concerns through engagement and mitigation strategies.
- Improved mine plan and processing flowsheet to reduce risks and improve efficiency.
